Now his millions of YouTube followers can feel what it's like to hug Franzie thanks to a new video taken with a GoPro camera from the huggee's point of view.

'Franzie has tricks, this is one of them. He asks his daddy for a hug and stretches up for it! Too cute!' YouTube user Tricia Carr wrote on original cat hug video, which subsequently racked up over 7 million views. That video was called Best Kitty Hug Ever, while this one appears to want to piggyback on the original's success. It's called Best Kitty Hug Ever, GoPro.
But Franzie's owners need not have worried. This new cat hug video has all the makings of a viral success. 'This is our first attempt at getting a hugger's perspective of Franzie giving a hug,' writes Carr.
Weeeee! The newest Franzie video is the most intimate glimpse yet of Franzie's world of hugging with complete abandon

Francie appears even more eager to hug in this video, spreading his paws out with what appears to be very little prompting. Once held high, a smile can almost be made out on Franzie's black and white face. With his mission complete, he then holds his owner tight. For Franzie, it's just everyday life. For cat lovers unaccustomed to being hugged with abandon by a feline, it's an unbelievable treat.
